Chromebooks are wonderful machines. Zero maintenance, zero backup, FAST, and it gets better with each update and doesn’t bog down like Windows machines. The best part is that updates are done seamlessly in the background and when it’s ready a little “reboot to update” icon appears and the machine reboots in literally 3 seconds and you have the newest version of Chrome OS. No more waiting hours for it to install updates as you do on Windows machines.

Did I mention the battery lasts for 8 hours and it literally cold boots to the log in screen in 3-4 seconds? 3-4 seconds!

People often complain about Chromebooks that they need to be online to do anything (which isn’t true – Google Docs, Google Play Movies, Music, and many other things work offline now). To those who say that… turn off wifi or unplug your ethernet cable. How useful is your present computer? Everything we do is online anyways. Why not cut out the traditional OS middleman and have an amazingly fast and simple system.

I left Windows for Mac 12 years ago for Mac’s ease of use. 3 years ago I left Macs for Chromebooks for the same reason. They’re just blazingly simple and THEY JUST WORK.

If you open up any Chromebook, ANY CHROMEBOOK, and login… everything will be there. Your settings… your history,.. your documents…your music and movies… EVERYTHING. Within a couple seconds of logging into a brand new Chromebook you have everything that was on the other Chromebook.

The only time I ever boot up my Mac is to run YNAB. Now that I have it running on my fast Chromebook I’m probably going to sell my Mac as I don’t need it anymore.
